+## json_object* ScanForConfig (const char* searchPath, CtlScanDirModeT mode, const char *prefix, const char *extension)
+
+Scan a directory searching all files matching pattern: 'prefix*extention'.
+
+* `searchPath`: directory where to begin the searching.
+* `mode`: either or not the search will be recursive.
+* `prefix`: file prefix that will be looking for.

+
+Returns a string representing the path to binder root directory.
+
+## char *GetAFBRootDirPath(afb_api_t apiHandle)

+binder root directory file descriptor.
+
+* `apiHandle` : pointer to the AFB API.
+
+Returns a string representing the path to binder root directory.
